Facebook. Excellent for a few good laughs. I'm sorry if you don't understand Marathi (I don't either!) Basically, this gentleman wanted to be my frand. Click on the image above to see what happened. And yes, that's the baby me :)

Get over it!

Swine flu - the latest 'pandemic' hitting the world. It's the next worst thing since the Spanish influenza that had killed millions in 1918.

Swine flu's latest victim - Bombay.

Are we in panic? Hell yeah.

Should we panic? Hell no.

Every other news channel you flip through, you'll see the Arnabs and the Rajdeeps hollering 'Swine flu! Swine flu! Oink Oink!' If you are ready to buy into the hype they are causing, then you better be walking around wearing condoms - AIDS kills more people all over the world than what Swine flu has.

People are walking around wearing masks like Doomsday has come over us. But once they are eating or talking, they take it down and put it on again. That makes you twice more vulnerable to getting infected than walking around maskless.

I must admit, I had initially bought into the hype. My sister came home one day with a cough and a sneeze, and I ran around the house tearing out my hair thinking it was swine flu. I practically begged her to go to Kasturba and get checked for an infection. Luckily she didn't go, and I too got rid of my paranoia.

With the wise words of Douglas Adams in 'A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', I conclude :

Don't panic.

GM Diet - I Slipped

It had to happen people - I slipped. Today was the sixth day of GM diet, and I broke it.

I don't know, but I just could not take it anymore. Today was going to be rice for breakfast, lunch AND dinner, and just the thought put me off. I could not do it. Instead I opted for regular home-made food. Had roti after a week.

Should I feel bad or guilty though? I don't know. I know what you're thinkin..I just had one more day to go! I could have finished the damn thing. But I just couldn't do it. But I came this far...and I applaud myself.

Also, I have lost 6kgs. 6kgs..wow..my clothes are loser..and you have no idea how happy that makes me. I am planning to do this once every month, and try to stick to the whole seven days.

Would like to thank you all for being so supportive, even though I could not complete this. I will try again next month.

Thanks for reading, and supporting :) See you shortly with my regular, nutty posts :)
